1. A clothes iron comprises:
- a body;
a manually graspable handle secured to the body;
a sole plate connected to the body, the sole plate having a substantially planar face for engaging items to be ironed; and
means for inducing orbital oscillatory motion into the sole plate in the plane of the face thereof to enhance the performance of the iron.

Abstract
A clothes iron comprises a body (2) and a sole plate (3). The body (2) is supported on the sole plate (3) by means of laterally resilient springs (4). The springs permit sideways movement of the sole plate (3) relative to the body (2). A motor (8) has a shaft (9) that carries an eccentric portion (10) which is received within a socket provided in the upper face of the sole plate. Thus, operation of the motor will cause the sole plate to execute orbital oscillatory motion relative to the body, in the plane of the face of the sole plate.
